The 7 Summits Club guide Alexey Lonchinsky reports from Chile:
Yesterday was a great day! Everyone in the 7 Summits Club "Seven" group was feeling great this morning, eager to get going. We set out on an acclimatization climb to one of the peaks above the pass we passed the day before. We successfully summited one of the peaks of the Seven Brothers massif. The weather was perfect!

January 14th. The "MFMFM" group left base camp overnight for the ascent. The weather was favorable for the climb: sunny, with a moderate wind. And at 1:45 PM, the entire group reached the summit of Ojos del Salado (6,893 m), the highest volcano in South America! Group guides: Alexander Abramov and Andrey Berezin.

The 7 Summits Club guide Artem Rostovtsev from Antarctica:

 Antarctic greetings! Things have improved for us, but not for the better. The forecast near Sidley is still poor, so we're exploring the surrounding area and enjoying Antarctica. And frankly, we're discovering interesting corners of the mountain that are less visited than Vinson Massif and Sidley. Today we climbed to the summit of Mount Pipka (we climbed it ourselves, we named it ourselves), and the group immediately acquired a nickname: "Pipkokhody". Tomorrow, part of the group may fly to the South Pole. The rest of the group plans to watch the IL-76 land on the ice of Antarctica.

Admire what we admired today!
